Journos, Politicos to Go Head-to-Head on 'Jeopardy! Power Players Week'

Viewers will discover the answers to these questions and more next month when top media contenders battle it out in a "Power Players" week of competition on "Jeopardy!"

For the third time in its history, the show is offering a star-studded cast of contestants including authors, journalists and politicos. The celebs will compete for a minimum of $50,000 per game, to be donated to the charity of their choice. Contestants who don't win will still earn $10,000 for their organizations.

The show announced its contestants today. Among the high-profile names are comedian Lewis Black, NBC's Kelly O'Donnell and Todd, Fox News' Dana Perino and Wallace, and CNN's Cooper.

For Cooper, it'll be a chance to reclaim some lost dignity. He won no money two years ago on "Celebrity Jeopardy!" in a matchup with winner Cheech Marin of comedy duo Cheech & Chong. Matthews will also have a chance to do better than last time; he won second place, behind Charles Shaughnessy, best-known for his role as Maxwell Sheffield on "The Nanny."

The"Jeopardy! Power Players" episodes will air May 14 to 18.
